The Citizens Ticket.

The matter of citizens ticket has
not only created great deal OF COM
ment. but has developed the fact thas
nine.tenths of the tax paying cluzens
are a unit for it. The election day Is
fast approaching, and in order to meet
the demand, action should be taken at
once. 80
Both the republican and democratic
primaries have been postponed to, the
VERY last possible minute before the
election. a proceeding almost without
rarallel. and the result will De that
mauy voters will not know until the
tickets are placed in their hands, who
their party candidate is. Another effect
of this action, will be to place the
nomination and the action OF the par,
tv in the hands of the few who attend
the primaries without recourse or aP'
neal. and with no time to allow the
voters to investigate as to the qualih-
cations or character of the men they
are asked to vote for. These are the
Inconvenience and Inevitable result.

A Sad Case.

Yesterday one of those sad cases
which 90 to show how greatly the
need of a Juvenile corrective lnstltu-
lion has grown to be, came up for
hearing in Judge Halstead's court.
Some three weeks ago thirteen year
old boy named John Stevenson, went
into Gresham Bros. store on south
Ohio street and handed MIR. Gresham
a sealed note. On opening it Mr..
Gresham found it to be d request from
Mrs Sherman for loan OF 81.
Thinking it was all right Mr.. Gresham
gave Young Stevenson the s2 and ne
departed. Later it was discovered
that the order was a forgery and
vnun0 Stevenson was hunted up.
Yesterday he was arrested and owned
up 10 having presented the order and
receiy ed the money, but claimed that
the letter was given him by Fatty
Smith. and "Beefy" Worth, boys
aged l3 and Is. They were also
hunted up and arrested, but both
swore positively that they knew moth,
ing of the transaction. After full
hearing of the case his honor adJudged
Iyoung Stevenson guilty, and sentenced
him to one day in Jail.
Stevenson claims 10 be the son OF a
farmer living near the city, and, IN
the evidence, stated that his mother
was dead, that his father had driven
. him from home, and that he found
, nome wherever he could. He has
until recently, been staying with q
wood-hauler named Gentry. Ill

Yale Vs New Forks To-Day-The Mott Haven Games-Yale Expected Te Win-RevIvaI of Sophomore Soc1e- ties Probable-CoIumbia Drops out of The League.
 Yale will play the New Works in New York this morning.
 The freshman nine will play the Torring- tons Monday.
 Princeton plays Harvard to-day at Cam bridge. It is probable that Mercur will not pitch for Princeton, as he has been called home on account of sickness. There will be no afternoon recitations Monday in either the academic or scientific departments.
 The class boy of 's4, along with the class cup, was photographed on the 'sfence" in front of South Middle yesterday. The cup will be on exhibition at Thompsons to-day.
 Bremner '56 caught for the 'S4 Chaupcey Hall nine Thursday, which defeated the 'S1 nine.

  lessor Dana will leave by train from the Der by railroad at 1:3O D. m., going to Orange, thence on foot to Derby where the train will be taken for New Haven.
 The Mott Haven team left for New York last evening, and the prospects are favorable that they will win first place in the. intercol- legiate games. Notwithstanding the fact that Yale plays New York in the morning and that the games take place in the afternoon, the number who intend to be in New York was not sufficient to secure reduction. The men composing the team have been in con- stant training since Easter, and the college at large is confident that they will do credit to themselves and secure first place. The team is composed as follows:
 Hammer and shot, Coxe '87; 100 yards and 220 yards dashes, Sherrill '89, Moen '89 S. and Robinson go; 120 yards hurdle, Lud- ington 'S7 and Berger 'S8 S.. 40 yards dash, Jenkins '87 s. and McGuire go; half mile run, Bradner 'Ss and Hinckley 'S9; mile run, Lane 88 and Harmar go; mile walk, Wentworth '87 S. and Carmalt 'S6; running broad jump, Shearman '89 and Rob- inson go; two mile bicycle race, Landy 'S9 s. and Work 'S9 S.; tug-of-war, Hanson go anchor, Bissell '97 captain, Guernsey 's7, Le Sassier 'S8 and Dickey 'S9 s.
 President Archibald received a dispatch yesterday morning announcing that Colum- bia could not play the scheduled game at the Polo grounds. This compelled Yale to turn to some team to play at the Polo grounds and Manager Mutrie kindly arranged game with the Giants for the morning. This action of Columbia will compel her to resign from the league according to the rules. Yale men are indignant with the action of Columbia and particularly with the presumption on her part of ever entering the league with such materi. al as she had at her disposal. The stupidity of Harvard and Princeton in urging quad rangular league is only too prominently shown 1,ry% %1,a Gz11 aryb5 hoe &al o1o VII probably arrange game with Williams or Amherst for Monday in place of the sched- uled game with Columbia. It will probably be with the latter.

BASE HALL NOTES.

Lautenbach to Pitch To.Day-The
 New York Reserves Want to Play on
 the Polo Grounds-Dan Phalon to
 Play on the New Havens-Staford
 Wants the Earth.
 James Kelly yesterday took hold of the New Haven base ball team as manager, as the COURIER stated he would do. He had Captain Troy take his men out to the park yesterday morning and practice.
 Dan Phalon, late of the Springfield team, will play first base for the New Ravens, as his terms have been accepted. Dan is the best first baseman in the league. He will be here to-day.
 Stafford, the pitcher of the Spring6elds, was in the city yesterday. His head seems to have swollen good deal since that team disbanded, for he wants twice as much sala- " to play with the New Ravens as he got with the Springfelds. He won't get it.
 The Boston Herald says that the New Ha- vens will give $1, 900 for the release of Con- way or Madden.
 The New York Reserves have not yet been admitted into the Eastern league, but they probably will be in few days. Manager Daniels of the Hartfords has been busy for the past two days in trying to arrange things satisfactorily. The Reserves want to come into the league, but they want to play on the Polo grounds. Manager Daniels is in hopes that the matter may be amicably adjusted so that they may.
 The Reserves are strong team and with such pitchers as Mattimore and Roach will make the other clubs hustle.-Bridgepor Standard. The Reserves have no connection whatever with the New York league team, consequently Mattimore and Roach will not pitch for the Reserves. It has been pre- vailing idea that the Reserves were part of the New York league team. The Reserves are an entirely separate team, backed by 8 number of wealthy men.
 The New Ravens go to Hartford to play to day. Lautenbach will pitch and Week becker catch. keefe will probably pitch for the Hartfords. Leary will play third base and Brill short.
 If Cuff is signed by the New Ravens the team will have the best catcher in the league. He and Weckbecker were released by Presi dent Day, of the New York league club, at the same time. Cuff is at present disen- gagged. He is a fine catcher. There are not very many who can steal bases on him. Man ager Troy telegraphed him the other day to knoR if he would come to New Haven and he answered that he would. He wanted consid erable advance money, and somebody, not realizing what 8 good catcher he is, thought he ought to come for less. They ought to be mig ghty glad to think they can get him without buying his release. but as they have held off he may yet slip through their fin gers. Manager Kelly, however, will proba- ply go to New York this morning to see him.

There will be no grade crossings and but two drawbridges on the route It is proposed that limited express train shall run over the line in 31s hours, or at the rate of 55 miles per hour. The railroad station in this city will be at the junction of Eighth avenue, Boulevard and Fifty-eighth street. This side of the Harlem river the road will run largely underground and be partly ele- vated and surface. The Connecticut State line will be crossed near Port Chester. The prospected line is made up of corporations existing in the States traversed. There are thus four corporate segments in the proposed system follows: From New York city to the Connecticut State line the New York, Connecticut and Eastern railroad; from New York State line to New Haven the New York and Connecticut Air Line Railway company of Connecticut; from New Haven to the Massachusetts line the New York and Boston railroad company of Connecticut from the Connecticut State line to Boston the New York and Boston h. land railroad company of Massachusetts.

THE OPERA COMIQUE HORROR. Sixty-Eight Bodies Taken From The

Ruins.
 PARIS, May 27.-According to an official report sixty bodies have been recovered from the ruins of the Opera Comique up to seven o'clock this evening. The municipal council of this city has voted ten thousand francs for the relief of sufferers by the fire
 A later official report announces that sixty eight bodies had been recovered. The work of searching the ruins continues tonight with the aid of electric lights. An English family of three persons is missing. h. quiries for missing friends are still being re- ceived.
 The approaches to the burned theater are vended on the streets to-day, the moral of which was that if there had been ministers with as high a sense of public duty as had been shown by General Boulanger the disaster would not have oc- cured. The pamphlet was eagerly bought and produced 8 visible effect upon the popu- lace. An Faudacious frebrand could have persuaded the crowd to do anything. All Paris turned out to witness the transfer of corpses to the morgue. A gentleman who was mistaken for M. Der thold was obliged to seek refuge from throng of indignant people. A Kiennese fnancier named Dessauer and his wife are among the victims.
 Inquiries at the leading hotels show that very few English persons and no Americans are missing. The wife and daughters of General Meredith Read had very narrow escape. Their dresses were almost complete ly torn off in the crush. It is estimated that it will take nearly fortnight to clear away the ruins,
